Question—What was the name of each contractor you have employed I attach herewith a list of con- tyactors who were employed on state construction Septembder 29th, 1914, to- gether with the amounts of contracts awarded to each. There are some contractors who have done work for contractors who have done work for us who are not at present carrying out work and thére are others whe bid from time to time to whom no work has been allowed. (This list be- ing length, it is omitted from the coples of the correspondence given to the papers.) Question—What is the amount of the total appropriation : The total appropriation to date, not bile Hcenses, i9 $10,384,000. e ers the period from July 9th, 1895, to October 1st, 1914. Question—-How much of the $10,384, 000 expended up to date of your let- ter have been expended under your direction? Taking the subject matter of this letter as ‘being the construction of roads, the amount spent for road construction between February 26th, 1513, and October 10th, 1914, is $3,- 546,814.05. This sum, however, in- cludes refunds due from the towns on the state aid proposition and re- funds due from other sources, such as share to be paid by the town in case of the state repairing a town road. Question—How much of appro- priation should you incline t favor for the next fiscal period of two years? In answering this question, I refer you to my letter of March 24, 1914, I which I gave n total appropria- tlon for the coming two years re- quircd for highway purposes of $3,- 500.000, separated as follows:. Hepatrs 1o trunk lines, not includ- ing,. automobile fees, $500,000 per. year. Renewals and reconstruction of trunk lincs, $500,000 per year. State ald_roads—extension of con struction—$500,000 per years. . Fepairs to state aid roads, $150,000 ber year. En-ineering and operation 'of the cepartment, $100.000 per year. Or a total for each year of $1,- 750,000; for two years of $3,500,000. 1 have seen no reason to change my mind as’to this request, feeling that is it far wiger for us to go slowly with the further construction of trunk line hishways and put our greatest effort to the reconstruction and keeping in re- pair of those highways already built. Question—What is the general con- dition of the existing highways which were als in existence when you took office; as compared with thelr condition then? I think I may safely say, in an- swer to this question, that the gen- cral condition of the highway sys- tem is improved materially since Feb- ruary, 26th, 1913. We have. spent a' great deal of effort in establishing a system of repairs on all roads and have spent a large amount of our appropriation for this purpose. In many instances the towns have agreed to spend thelr state ald money in the entire reconstruction of roads Political Ad vertisement VOTE FOR NELSON J.

This is particularly true in the cese of cities where a macadam road was built previously and where the traffic daveloped to such a degree that the type @Y pavement was entirely unfit to carry the load, and the road had practically gone. In such Cases as these, cities agreed to contribute their state aid money to " be spént on the construction of permeanent pavements, whether con- e or of bituminous character, so the roads were placed in ever so much better condition. The worst places have been attended to as rapidly as possible and this work is now heing carried on as fast as we can secure the money and decide the best solution of the difficulty. WAR MEANS BOOM TO POSTAL SAVINGS Savings That Once Went Abroad Now Kept Here—Confidence .in the Government. The war in Europe is proving a big boom to postal savings in this country From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal-savin began by leaps and bounds and with- drawals fell off, a result contrary to the predictions of many well-informed persons who, in their imagination, saw lines of feverish depositors at- post- office pay windows anxious to again return their savings to the boot-leg ang body-belt depositories whence they came before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters failed to reckon on the aPsolute confidence of the Amer- ican citizen, regardiess of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and purpose of the government to CAIry out its obligations, not oniy among the nations of the earth, but with the hum- Dlest citizen of our land. ) Two important results have follow- ed; theusands of people, largely of for- eign birth, accustomed to’ send their | savings abroad, are.-now patrons of our postal-savings system; and enor- maps sums of actual cash haye been released for commercial uses among our own people at a time when the ing. $10,000,000 Added Sinee July Tst. The growth of postal savings in the Uuited . States has been_ steady and healthy and the system has filled an fmportant gap between the tin-can de- pository and the factory paymaster. Gn July 1, when afiairs were running smoothly here and abroad and the trnsmission of money across the Atlan- tic was safe and expeditious, there was approximately $43,000,000 'of postal savings standing to the credit of about 288,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been add- ed 'and the number of depositors has increased enormously. This unpre- cedented gain is the more striking when it is considered that the net gain in the -last three months is larger than the* gain for the entire fiscal vear 1914. Scores of offices have done more postal- savings business since the war has been going on than was done by them during the pervious existence of the Service. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. New York City alone made a gain in September gf more than a mil- lion, while Erooklyn showed a rela- tively big increase. Chicago reported a larger gain in the past three months than for the previous twelve months. More than 7,000 new accounts were op- ened during_the period, bringing the number of depositors in that city up | to over 21,000. Banks Apply as Depositors. The unexpected increase in postal- savings business has mot only added greatly to the general administrative duties of the system, but has brought up many new and interesting probleins which have called for the careful per- sonal consideration of, Postmaster Gen- eral Burleson and Governor Dockery.

Cassidy, one of the town school board, at a meeting at Broad- way school at 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. His subject was the detec- tion of the first symptoms of the com- tagious diseases which arc liable to ©rop out among school children. The doctor paid particular attention to diptheria, scarlet fever and measles, apd spoke 3s well upon the symptoms of whooping cough, mumps and o diseases so that nis instructive talk of about an hour placed the teachers in possession of much accurate informa- tion that will be of service to the.m So far this vear two cases of con- tagious diseases have appeared among schonl chi'dren, one diphtheria case in an attendant at the Hobart avenue school and one scarlet fever case in a Pupll of the High street schéol. In tals case the pupil had not been to school 50 s to expose anyone to the disease and it has not been necessary to_take any action.
